Not surprisingly, Donald Trump took the predictable heat from progressives after he tweeted his thanks in June to the LGBT community for its support. However, his tweet also garnered more than 50,000 likes.

Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.

Can one person’s utter disgust with Trump and the GOP negate those tens of thousands of likes? It took him more than a month to react, but California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would like to be elected the state’s governor in 2018, unloaded on Trump and the GOP Monday afternoon in a series of tweets in which he accused Trump of, well, a lot.

If Elizabeth Warren thinks her Twitter broadsides against Trump have been brutal, she needs to take notes.

I didn't believe you would protect anyone but yourself, but remember when you made Orlando tragedy all about you? https://t.co/7ZOZzx8GSo

Honestly, we don’t remember that at all, but we do remember when the Democrats made the Orlando terrorist attack (or “tragedy,” if you prefer) about everything but Islamic terrorism, exploiting it to reignite their gun control push and choosing to hold a 25-hour temper tantrum on the House floor to keep “potential” terrorists from purchasing firearms.

What have you done since Orlando? Have you even tried to fake something? Send some ties, steaks or water? https://t.co/7ZOZzwR60Q

That’s laying a lot at the feet of Trump personally, considering that each party has its own platform committee that meets to hammer out the exact working to present at each party’s convention. Was Hillary Clinton in attendance as the Democrats drafted their party platform, or was she too campaigning?

But when it comes to asserting control to help others you are "hands off" – you've never NOT micromanaged https://t.co/7ZOZzx8GSo

So, Omar Mateen (a registered Democrat, by the way) slaughtered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Florida, a soft target that he personally staked out and selected, but the real threat to the LGBT community is Donald Trump and the GOP? Could it be the NRA is catching a break in this Twitter rant?

Of course you wouldn't have asked what the community needed, its always a soliloquy with you, one way street. https://t.co/7ZOZzx8GSo

Once? Reminder: the Democratic nominee for president herself once opposed same-sex marriage. But in 2013, Clinton and husband Bill issued a joint statement praising the U.S. Supreme Court for overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, which President Clinton himself had signed into law in 1996.

So let’s not pretend conversion therapy is a cornerstone of the GOP platform, and recognize that it is likely to generate less discussion than transgender bathroom access. Hopefully the party will focus on that non-threat of Islamic terrorism.
